(I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. But then, if it isn't, it won't be approved anyway.) I made this thing that gives you a collage of your lj interests: http://treap.net/gavri/lji61.html





Update: Warning: Images could offend you.
Update: Had to take down. Mail from the Yahoo Developer Network that the tool was straining their servers.
Update: Uploaded the code: http://treap.net/gavri/lji61.html

Nice! Are you caching the image URLs?

There's no server-side code and I intend to keep it that way. (Actually there's some php code, but it's just a proxy to over-come the cross-domain xmlhttprequest restriction in the browser.)

Also, it's likely that your friends-icons collage meme inspired this. Thank you.

Much coolness...

What would be great is if each image had the "alt" attribute set to the interest it was showing - as some of the interests are not apparent from the picture! :)

I'd like this feature too. Sometimes I found a picture that I really liked even though it didn't illustrate what I was thinking about when I wrote the interest :)

Great toy! Thanks!

Ok, I have 1 problem with this.

I found pix I was happy with, and clicked "I'm happy with these pictures", but then after I posted it, pictures changed to ones I'm not happy with. Is it supposed to do that?

Definitely not. What's the browser you're using? And operating system?

How about an alt tag so when we mouse over an image, it'll tell us the interest.

[info]psiphiorg
2006-08-21 03:16 pm UTC (link)
Actually, that should be a "title" attribute, not "alt", as "alt" only shows up if the image doesn't load, whereas "title" shows up all the time. At least in Firefox, that is... maybe other browsers show "alt" even when the image does load.

It doesn't seem to work in Opera.. any ideas? I only get one interest picture, of a train?

Very cool regardless! May have to jump on another computer when I get a chance, to use IE or Firefox..

Did you use rich-text mode or plain-text mode? I don't think it will work if you post it using rich-text mode.

I don't have any interest listed, but it pops up a picture anyway (after clicking it a million times, I can't even seem to find a common theme... very random!)

You either misspelled the lj id or entered the id of someone who has no interests. Hopefully. What is the lj-username you typed in?
